[pete88 0]

Okay so I am filling out my packet 3 right now and I am kind of confused if I fill out some of these questions or do I leave them blank?

DS-156.

How long do you intend to stay in the US?

Whats the purpose of the trip?

Whos gonna pay for the trip

do i intend to work and who will my employer be?

Its my K1 visa so obviously I plan on staying there forever as soon as I get married and I plan on working there when i find a job and get the rest of my paper work done? so should I fill those questions out or leabve em blank?

Thanks

Pete

One more question.

The checklist. do I bring the stuff to the interview or do I attached it to the paperwork?

On the DS-156 Form it says to attach in order to apply for fiance visa (birth certificate, evidence of engagement,police records ect.)

But I remember readin that I was to collect these things and bring them to the interview with me.

The 156 is a standard form used for other Visas. Some fields will not apply to you. Never leave a filed blank. Enter N/A, None, etc.

Check out example forms her: http://www.visajourney.com/content/examples

For more specific info relating to your consulate, post in the Canada portal.

And actually, I think the 156 is obsolete, replaced by the 160. but check with your Portal to be sure.

Heres what I put on the application:

How long do you intend to stay in the US? PERMANENTLY

Whats the purpose of the trip? MARRY US CITIZEN, FIANCE (FIANCEE)

Whos gonna pay for the trip? MY FIANCE (FIANCEE) I DID THIS CAUSE I WILL PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD

do i intend to work and who will my employer be? ONCE I BECOME ESTABLISHED I WILL APPLY FOR WORK AUTHORIZATION

I hope this helps. Good luck

I would double check, some consulates are just using the DS-160 online which replaces alot of the other forms you used to have to turn in with packet 3

I got the form from the montreal consulate on the website so I am assuming they are still using this form

Thanks for the help.

Last thing do I have to mail those things out with my paper work or do I bring them to the interview. birth certificate, police records, evidence of engagement ect?

[Faycel and Renee 30]

When I filed my K1 with USCIS I mailed them a copy of EVERYTHING. and prepped my package for my fiance for his interview. I had him send me his birth certificate, his police certificate and some other docs and made sure he had a copy of everything. Once USCIS gets it then it it forwarded to NVC then to the embassy. My process was very fast and just an 8 day review in AP (thank goodness).

Every place is different but I would definitely ask the Canadians what they did and Im so sure you will find all the answers you need. Good luck on your journey!

They've updated packet 3 within the past few months, but I'm not sure if the VJ guides have been updated. Here's the updated version of everything you need : http://photos.state.gov/libraries/canada/303578/montreal/Packet3-K1-MTL.pdf

You don't have to send in anything on the checklist, all of that is brought to the interview. Emailing packet 3 took a few of us approximately a month (including Thanksgiving), so be patient.

You might want to check if you really have to complete DS-156 instead of DS-160. According to the current checklist on the Montreal Consulate's website, the first step on the Packet 3 instructions is:

1. Confirmation receipt with barcode number from the completed Form DS-160. The

system will automatically generate the confirmation receipt after you submit the

form. The form is available online at https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/ –SEND COPY OF THE

CONFIRMATION RECEIPT ONLY BY E-MAIL. DO NOT SEND THE ENTIRE APPLICATION.

~At this stage of the process, instructions/requirements are often embassy-specific~

I commented this on your other post, but I figured it would be helpful to have it altogether. It's also good to know that everything gets emailed to Montreal now, not mailed in.

They've updated packet 3 within the past few months, but I'm not sure if the VJ guides have been updated. Here's the updated version of everything you need : http://photos.state....ket3-K1-MTL.pdf
